**Detroit at Kansas City** (-4.5/52.5) Kickoff-Opening Night! (1 Viewer)

[dmac37]

Come on Lions, 7 points by the offense so far

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Yeesh. Lions rolling over.

 

[rockaction]

There really needs to be a reinforcement of the rule rather than a gentleman's attempt at the line of scrimmage. It's a huge advantage.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Lions with 67 yards on 20 combined carries.

Huh

 

[irish eyes]

this non call offsides is comical

Offsides or illegal formation? Offsides is when the defense is lined up passed the football before the snap. Illegal formation would be when the offensive tackle’s head isn’t at least at the waist of the center.

Jawaan Taylor (KC’s LT) isn’t even close to having his head at the center’s waist. Literally every play is an illegal formation.

He’s also moving backwards well before the snap on about 50% of plays. It’s absurd that it’s not being flagged.

I do think at this point it’s Dan Campbell’s fault. He should be losing his mind and FORCING the refs to start calling it.

It's a joke at this point. Everyone but the idiot refs can see it, or I'm sure they see it and don't care.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Isn't defensive holding an automatic first down?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Why decline defensive holding there? I know you gained a few more yards, but its first down.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Isn't defensive holding an automatic first down?

Thought the same

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Monty’s gonna have a few of those JW 3 TD games.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Isn't defensive holding an automatic first down?

Did they change that rule?

 

[Deamon]

Yeesh. Lions rolling over.

no way man!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Isn't defensive holding an automatic first down?

Thought the same

I’m confused by the decline

 

[jabarony]

How is the Detroit coaching staff not all over the officials for the illegal formation and false starts?

Maybe it’s like a hockey coach waiting for juuuusssttt the right time to have the ref check for an illegal stick???

 

[TheAristocrat]

Ahhh, I see declined for no reason. Good strategy.

 

[Deamon]

Isn't defensive holding an automatic first down?

Did they change that rule?

They declined it didn't they?

 

[dmac37]

LFG!!!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Reynolds just got outrun by every Lion.

 

[rockaction]

Chiefs deserve to lose this game. No receivers. Detroit, as Collinsworth notes, are coming back for the ball, sitting down in zones right.

Chiefs are doing none of that.

 

[irish eyes]

I didn't care who won either way, now I hope Detroit pulls this out

 

[Deamon]

Ahhh, I see declined for no reason. Good strategy.

The old "would you rather 1st and 10 or 2nd and 1" debate

 

[Zeppelin]

Montgomery!!!!!!!

 

[TheAristocrat]

Isn't defensive holding an automatic first down?

Did they change that rule?

They declined it didn't they?

Yeah sorry. I just assumed they would take the first while I got a beer.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

BAM!

 

[General Malaise]

F yeah!!!!

maybe this forces the refs to call it on them the rest of the year

 

[Penguin]

Monty's not shabby tonight

 

[Todem]

imagine the lions with a good qb

I’ll trade you Tua straight up for him right now.

Just led a drive to take the lead in KC. Goff is not a problem.

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Yeesh. Lions rolling over.

no way man!

Glad I was wrong

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Montgomery!!!!!!!

People who wrote him off baffle me. Bruiser.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Monty!!

 

[Penguin]

Smells like KC 23-21 final

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Gibbs looking like a bust vs ADP
Monty a steal tonight despite the low ypc
Great 4th Q drive by the OL and offense for Detroit

 

[dmac37]

Great run by Monty!!!

 

[IHEARTFF]

Good script, Rog

 

[BobbyLayne]

Brand
New
Lions

 

[Penguin]

Smells like KC 23-21 final

Maybe 27-21

 

[CGRdrJoe]

I just left my local watering hole where they have a burger called the Goff burger and they don’t have it on discount F’n Novato (Geoff’s hometown) didn’t like my suggestion but I did keep drinking the dumb drinks

 

[greenmountaingoat]

Either way, helluva game gents.

 

[General Malaise]

Worst movie commercial ever?

 

[BobbyLayne]

close it out boys

 

[TheAristocrat]

A Goff burger should be twice the cost and contain no burger to be accurate.

 

[Penguin]

He's the NFL's version of Oliver Stone

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Fun game at least. Exceeded expectations frankly.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Smells like KC 23-21 final

Yep. Can keep Mahomes out of the endzone. Zero chance to keep him out of FG range.

 

[jon_mx]

Now if the Lions can get to Mahomes a couple times

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Either way, helluva game gents.

Great kickoff to the season

 

[Mr.Pack]

I’m confused by the decline

Same lions different year. They also, back in the day of Sudden Death OT decided to kick instead of receive.

 

[Zeppelin]

Branch back in...thank goodness.

 

[rockaction]

God, this Chiefs offense looks terrible without Kelce. These WRs stink.

 

[The Frankman]

Taylor's stance is telegraphing run/pass

EDIT: OOOOF WHY DIDN'T THEY SNAP IT?
